To all the hard-working Wikifiers out there: a Fandom admin has decided that the Peel Wiki page on Nigger Kojak should be deleted. I enclose her comments and my reply. I would be interested to know what others think before I give up contributing to this site for good.
 

 Hi,
 I'm sorry, we do not allow that word on Fandom (although there are many existing mentions that need clearing up!)
 I have had to remove the page, but you are welcome to restore it with the word censored out - n***** is acceptable.
 I'm sorry for the trouble,
 Regards,

 Your response is totally inappropriate. That page had existed since 2013 (even though I had to get a previous admin to allow it). It is the name of an artist and your revisioinist censorship robs the Wiki of an artist important to Peel's history and you have eradicated many hours of work by dedicated Wiki members. I will be highlighting this to the group and will continue to fight your decision. What if I had not pointed it out? And why is the word allowed on Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigger)???? I request that you reverse the decision forthwith.
